- Independent practice: Pupils will work
through a worksheet related to different
conversions. This worksheet should not take
long, but once they are finished they will
begin working on compound measures that
they must convert.
- To give pupils freedom and choice in the
lesson, they can choose what they convert
their answers into.
Exit Ticket:
There will be no close to this lesson. The conclusion
will be a transition into the second part of the
double period.
